Boost

Mine usually is around 28 to 29 depending on the outside temp. Dealer is saying the boost is too high and is causing the CAC tube to leak - cannot convince them of installing TSB 05-22-3 to replace plastic tube. They want to decrease boost starting with replacement of the VGT and if boost is still to high to replace the turbo. What a bunch of fertilizer! Yes it is stock - got a MBRP and gauges, but that is it. Oh, I do run Standayne Performance Blend.

I believe 27 is about the avg for max unloaded.

Junior F350 - got the platic tube. I tightened the clamp at the bottom of the airfilter box - got a lot of turn on it fairly easily. Did have a lot of oil residue on the bottom so perhaps this was the cause on the drivers side. Agree on the reflash and VGT - it aint gonna happen. There are numerous ford dealers around that certainly should beable to do better.

Bear Hunter - thanks - guess I'm a little on the high side at 29.2 - but today the max I observed was 28.5. I'm Using the BD monitor that keeps track of max observed.

I have seen as much as 34 on my mechanical gauge and a high of 33 on my bullydog outlook monitor. but i also have an intake exhaust and triple dog power pup downloader. very happy with all of the bullydog items unlike most people.
